WL//WH Weekly Electronic Music Tips

• Research & Development Mix Series [RND 088] – JUSTIN AULIS LONG                                                     
  

Chicago‘s Justin Aulis Long “is a sonic sorcerer, urban Homeric poet, and cosmic wanderer, that exists within the liminal spaces where light meets dark. Long is the offspring of a gorgon, conceived within a brick and mortar labyrinth while surrounded by the supernatural electronic voices of angelic forces.” One half of L.I.E.S. affiliated project Circling Vultures and longtime music collector, JAL unfolds a boundless, mutant, cutting-edge selection, meaningless to describe, just to listen to and blow your minds

• Utrecht, Netherlands disco /acid /rave /trance /electronic producer Tjade “Les Hautes Fagnes” from “Les Hautes” EP [Polari Records]

Dutch producer deftly combines Trance and Disco, interspersed with a reflective atmospheric interlude, in a synth-laden daydream of warm, lush swirling synth drifts and swelling emotional-ridden enveloping tones, underpinned with the eternal pulsations of rippling acid-flecked rumbling low ends and hard-hitting snares, creating a blissful end-of-summer melancholia to compel into a stirring cosmic dimension where the summer will seemingly never end.

• Istanbul-based acid /dub /house /down-tempo /psych /electronica trio Islandman “Simple Man” second single off the forthcoming EP “Popsicle Obstacle” [Music For Dreams]

Trailblazing Turkish world-electronic trio with an irresistible heady concoction of crunchy mind-boggling percussions, groovy basslines, acidic ripples along wandering sparkling guitar strings full of Middle Eastern magic that will seduce and mesmerize, far beyond every overwhelmed dancefloor.

• UK eclectic /downtempo /experimental electronic producer Will Flisk “Underwater Throne”
